Oh, has that closed?
Two or three years ago. The Eagle nearby it closed as well, but has
since re-opened
under a new name.
That's a shame. (I stayed in St Dogmaels a few years
ago, thought the Castle Inn looked wonderfully old-fashioned, and was
planning to go but was diverted by some other excellent pubs
nearby. Not
least the one in St Dogmaels itself which served Gwynt y Ddraig Black
Dragon. I'd hoped to return one day... ah well.)
Ummm, which pub in St Dogs? The Teifi Netpool Inn is more of a guest
house with a bar
than a pub with guest rooms these days. The White Hart closed but
there's currently an
attempt by locals to raise the money to take it over.

Sure, but OSM isn't just about rendering, let alone just osm-carto
rendering.
Yes, it's also the data. To some it's ONLY the data. But for many of
us it's both: getting
a useful map is why we do it and we need accurate data to get a useful
map. If the carto does
not meet reasonable expectations then people will either stop mapping
or will tag for the renderer, either of which will reduce the accuracy
of the data.
If it looks like a church then OSM uses building=church.
So why not use building=pub???
Ok the renders may not presently use the information .. but it does tag
the truth?
So .. once the tagging is done .. how would you render a building that
is a church/pub but no longer functions as a church/pub? That is the
problem.
